* What’s your background?

* Could you explain Project Admission?

* How is the Nashville tech scene?

* What’s next in the ticketing industry?

* Any advice for other entrepreneurs?

Stephen Glicken is the co-founder and CEO of Project Admission. Glicken began his career in 2000 as an audio engineer at Circle House Studios in Miami, working with artists such as P. Diddy, Toni Braxton, Nas, Whitney Houston, No Doubt, and more. After Circle House, he connected with the Wu Tang Clan, becoming Ghostface Killah’s exclusive engineer on ‘The Pretty Toney Album’ and ‘Fishscale’.

In 2004, Glicken moved to Puerto Rico to produce a couple of records and ended up living there for almost 3 years. While there he co-managed award-winning duo Zion & Lennox, and helped run The Hacienda, a venue outside of San Juan.Then, in 2006, Glicken moved to New York to start Green Owl, the first ‘sustainably-minded’ record label, with co-founder Ben Bronfman. Notable releases include Al Gore’s Live Earth DVD/CD in 2007 and ‘The Green Owl Comp’ in 2008, which included exclusive music and videos from artists like Muse, Feist, Bloc Party, and The Citizens Band.

Most recently, from 2011-2017, Glicken was one of the first employees at CrowdSurge, which later merged with Songkick in 2015. Glicken opened Songkick’s/CrowdSurge’s Nashville office in 2012, where he led Business Development. At Songkick/Crowdsurge, it was Glicken’s goal to provide an easier way for fans to discover concerts as well as help to create a better experience for fans purchasing tickets directly from their favorite artists.

Fueled by a passion to help protect the relationship between artists and fans, Glicken started Project Admission in late 2017 with co-founder Jordan Stone to create an improved, more connected experience for the management, distribution and exchange of digital tickets. Today, Glicken also serves as a board member for Intersection and Tennessee Riverkeeper, and as an advisor for Artiphon and Open Fan.

Project Admission creates a more connected experience for the management, distribution, and exchange of event tickets. With a focus on user experience, the company’s custom technology tracks the chain of ownership for every ticket through its lifecycle, from purchase to event. Project Admission also knows that behind every ticket, there is a fan – someone who deserves to be protected from fraud and guaranteed the legitimacy of a ticket. By tracking the ticket, not only does Project Admission help fans, but it also helps venues and artists by providing valuable data for security and marketing purposes.

Tickets managed through Project Admission are easy to use, secure, and enhance the ticketing experience for venues, ticketing companies, artists, teams, and fans alike.

Joyce Lanigan, CEO and Co-Founder of Wild Spirit fragrances, a clean and sustainable line of fragrances giving women an opportunity to explore new and luxurious scent profiles and to re-invent their scent joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Joyce Lanigan discuss the following:

Tell us a bit about Wild Spirit Fragrances and your vision for the brand.

Can you tell us about what quality means to you? What makes your brands’ products high quality?

You’ve been nicknamed the ‘accidental fragrancier,’ can you tell us why?

What is one piece of advice you would give to a future entrepreneur?

What is next for Wild Spirit?

Joyce, a self-made entrepreneur and scent creator, has been making strides in the beauty industry since the launches of her multiple successful brands. With no fragrance background, her vision to bring meaningful luxury to the market resulted in the launch of two incredible fragrance lines. In 2014, Lanigan teamed up with business partner and renowned fashion photographer Russell James to introduce Raw Spirit Fragrances; a prestige indie fragrance brand that sources sustainable ingredients from some of the most beautiful places in the world and gives back to those communities they source from. The partnership was born from James’ art passion project Nomad Two Worlds. This past summer, Lanigan reached another milestone when she introduced sister brand Wild Spirit Fragrances to the mass market, officially launching in Walmart stores nationwide and online in June 2018.

Lanigan, a true nomad with a plethora of passport stamps to prove it, personifies her brand names. Originally from Ireland, she grew up in inner-city Dublin, but is a self-proclaimed Australian native, before finally settling in New York. She was fascinated with horses from an early age and took her first job as a horse trainer/stunt rider, and remarkably worked on various movies such as Far & Away and Braveheart. While she loved working in this field, she quickly discovered this passion didn’t exactly pay the bills.

“I knew I needed a legit paying job, so I went to work for the French bank Credit Lyonnais in their treasury department as a Money Market Trader, but I hated being tied to a desk all day. Shortly after, I was approached by an IT company that did banking systems and had a hectic job traveling the world consulting on software implementations for banks. I picked up and moved to Singapore and focused on working in Asia. I tried to settle back in Ireland, but I had the travel bug, so I then I moved to Perth, Western Australia. I was still working for software companies and traveling around Asia, but also expanded to include South Africa in my travels.  I definitely had a few up’s and down’s – and I think it’s those lows that you learn the most. My biggest failure was investing and working in a tech start-up, which was my biggest life lesson and educational experience. In a nutshell, failure should not be feared – it can open many other doors and completely change your perspective and direction. No regrets!”

In the chaotic midst of it all, Lanigan decided to enroll in Curtin University where she later received her MBA. Soon after, she found herself employed at a rather-large commercial law firm where she went on to win a monumental deal for the firm. One of the firm’s partners took notice of Lanigan’s hunger for growth and introduced her to Russell James, whom had just launched his Nomad Two Worlds art project and was uncertain of its evolution. Lanigan was skeptical of James stating, “I didn’t really think we’d have anything in common.  We never seemed to link up, until one day he just turned up in my office!

* What problem does OneCrop exist to solve?

* Agriculture is, and has always been a core industry to human existence. How is technology future-proofing this industry for next generations?

* Sustainability has become a much more prominent topic in recent years, however the sentiment that sustainability does not drive profitability. Do you believe this is true?

* Impact investing is a hot topic in VC circles, however we often see ‘hype’ investing, or phases (for example VR, blockchain, food delivery etc). What do you believe is the business potential for sustainable/eco-friendly businesses? Do you think impact investing will be a long term strategy for investors?

* Agtech is often bundled into the broader tech realm, however tech in this space is very different from SaaS models or consumer tech. What advice would you give to founders and potential investors looking to run or invest in agtech startups?

* Any closing remarks on the future of agtech?

Andrew Logan is the CEO of OneCrop. He has a strong history working with fast growing enterprises in the industrial and agricultural sectors.
